President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly scored 2,931,235 votes in total at the just concluded All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Primary Election conducted in 44 local Government Areas of Kano State, which has 484 wards.

The Kano State Governor,  Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, who is also the Chief Returning Officer for the election, announced the result that Buhari scored a total of 2,931,235 votes from party members, who participated in the exercise and all signified their interest for Buhari to return.

The Governor, who was highly elated by the massive turn out of members of the party, reiterated its commitment to give President Muhammadu Buhari over 5 million votes in the forthcoming 2019 general election.

Ganduje said, “With these figures of over five thousand votes from my ward, Ganduje ward at Dawakin Tofa local government, which only come from APC card carrying members, is indicative to the fact that our promise of over 5 million votes to our dear President in 2019 election is tenable and realisable.”

“People should understand that, when the general election comes around apart from our APC members that would vote for the continuation of President Buhari regime, many more others who belong to other parties would join the queue.

Not only that, even those that do not belong to any political parties, but have their permanent voters card will opt for him also,” he declares.

Ganduje added that, the conduct of direct primaries was intended to provide enabling environment for maximum political participation, insisting that, “This also shows how we are solidly behind President Muhammadu Buhari in strengthening democracy at all levels”, the NATION reports.

“The turnout is encouraging. With this therefore I am calling on our people to come en mass and vote for Buhari come 2019 general election. Kano state is always ready to continue to support him,” Ganduje stated.

The Governor expressed his satisfaction over the peaceful conduct of the presidential primary election, as witnessed in all the 44 local government councils of the state.

“Party leadership should be commended for the peaceful conduct of this direct primary election in our state, all in an effort to further deepen democratic process. This will go a long way in ensuring all Nigerians that our party is all out for strong internal democracy,” he further stated.

Ganduje however, called on the party leadership to maintain the good tempo witnessed from the presidential primary election that took place across all the 36 states of the federation including the federal capital territory, Abuja. “I need to acknowledge and appreciate the good conduct of our party members during this election,” he added.
